Mint Rice

     Nowadays its like hard days to manage both office and home parallely. Due to that, i felt am completely out of this blogging world. Since it been more than a week month, just to placing my attendance, am going to post this rice recipe, which is an another looted recipe from my lunch mate box (!) Yes, this is her mom's all time best recipe which i tasted so far. Its been very loooooooong time i got this recipe from her mom and the time came for me to prepare only on last month which is a big delay and only now i got the time to post it here (Again a delay). Rather naming this dish as "Mint Rice", i should call it as "Mint Rice in Delay" :P Here is the recipe for your views..........

ALL YOU NEED:

Basmathi Rice	1 cup
Chopped Onion	2 Nos.
Ginger Garlic Paste	1 1/2 spoon
Green chilly	3 Nos.
Mint Leaf	1 bunch
Coconut	2 Pieces
Ghee/Oil	3 spoons
Salt	To Taste

METHOD:
     Heat a pan with spoon of oil. Do the sauting of Mint leaf by adding pinch of salt. Allow it cool and Grind it to a fine paste along with 2 pieces of coconut. Keep it aside. Heat 3 spoons of oil in a pressure pan, add chopped onion and green chilly. Do fine sauting, now add ginger garlic paste and the grinded mixture. Do fine sauting, until the raw smell goes off. Now pour 1 1/2 cups of water. Once it comes to boil, add 2 cups of basmathi rice and add required salt. Close the pan with lid partially. DONOT put the whistle/weight. Wait for 5 mins. Now open the lid, do soft stir. Now close the pan completely without whistle/weight. Place the flame in simmer for 10 mins and Switch it off.

Note: I added some channa dhall just to skip the plain mint taste.

Mint Chapathi

     During the same Diet week mentioned in my previous posts (Here and Here), i prepared this Mint/Pudhina Chapathi. Its my long time thought to prepare some stuffed or mixed chapathi. So, tried Aloo paratha one day but that went as a disaster :P so tried with this Mint chapathi, i got super dooper flavored chapathi but it was bit hard :( Still, I packed it for my lunch with simple raitha as my side dish. When i opened my box during my lunch time, OMG ! what a smell !!! That was super flavored and it tasted heavenly too... Literally enjoyed having that flavored chapathi with my team mates

ALL YOU NEED:

Wheat flour	1 cup
Mint Leaf	Handful
Salt	Pinch
Water	3/4 glass
Oil	1 spoon

METHOD:
     Finely chop the mint leaf and keep it aside. Take a wide bowl, add cup of wheat flour, pinch of salt. Mix it well. Add chopped mint leaf, add little amount of water and make it as fine dough. Once done, add a spoon of oil, give a fine mix. Let it sit for a while. Now press it as chapathi and toss in tawa and serve with some suitable curry or raitha.
